“Went for the first time and the employee Steve was very helpful. He explained everything we needed to do and it helped a lot for learning how to eat here. Wonderful service and food!”
“The wings were delicious, service is friendly and great. Also had fresh spring rolls phenomenal”
“The apps and entrees were really good. Dessert was not our favorite. Oil and olives in ice cream and cookies? Strawberry pepper ice cream? Not again for us. Menu changes about quarterly. Service was good.”
“This was one of the BEST dinners we’ve had in a long time. Dedicated gluten free and even my non-GF husband could not stop raving about the food. We are thoroughly impressed and will be back!”

“Simply wonderful! Natalie is our absolute favorite server!! She made my husbands birthday amazing and memorable!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“My family was recently in town for a swim meet. We ordered delivery from here 4 times to our hotel room. After two sessions daily (6:15 am - 4 pm) of the meet we were exhausted and just needed to get delivery. The food was AWESOME. They always gave an ETA for the delivery and the delivery drivers were so nice. The bread for their subs are so fresh and sweet. My kids are picky with pizza and they LOVED it. We traveled from Maryland and we cannot wait to come back next year. Definitely getting delivery again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“This place is absolutely amazing. I got the Jiffy burger and it was probably the best burger I’ve ever had. Our waitress Catie was so friendly and her energy was amazing, did not disappoint at all. Will definitely be returning on the next vacation! Thank you Catie!”
“Visiting City’s Bistro is like going back home. The food is always beautifully fresh and delicious. The restaurant is incredibly clean. The icing on this cupcake is the people!!! Everyone is so amazing, words can’t express the love they have for this community and its people. If you haven’t been here, you absolutely must! There isn’t a bad menu item and they have the BEST coffee in town, hands down!”
“By far the best subs in town! Not your typical ham and cheese sub shop. The subs they make are booming with flavor and variety. Cool Ranch Ryder, and their October special (Witch hunt?) are amazing! I wish they had a Tyrone location buttttt then again I’d probably be there multiple times a week if they were that close to me. The staff are always so friendly, fast and efficient, and accommodating. Kenwood location is our favorite one but I’m sure they’re all amazing.”
“Food was Great! Drinks were Great! There’s no kids menu, but I ended up sharing a pizza with mine. I would suggest checking in on the waitlist just to be sure your wait won’t be long.”
Outdoor Dining
“Just visited for the first time and the food is absolutely amazing. 10/10 so good. We got a couple bowls (the braised beef is spectacular) and Cubans which had some spice to them. It was a great experience. We got there when there weren’t a lot of people but it quickly became the place to be as we were finishing up. My 11 year old picky eater loved so it’s a winner for us. ☺️”
“I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant! Ate here twice during our week in FL. We ordered different things each time. The Cuban sandwich was amazing and the Roasted chicken men so flavorful. Oxtail was good also. My son loved the beef empanadas. Staff was amazing and so helpful. Bought some of the red sauce to bring home with us. We will be back!”
“This afternoon I joined 22 friends for High Tea at Jack's. The food was better than the High Teas I had in England. Perhaps this is due to them making everything in house: fresh baked bread for the finger sandwiches, puff pastries with cream and jam, rum spiked fruit cake...all delicious. If you've never been to England, and still want the authentic experience, gather some friends and arrange with Jack's for a delightful afternoon of tea, food and conversation.”
“Great menu, drinks, atmosphere, service, music 10 or of 10. Please open one in Trinity. We have a severe imbalance of restaurants per capita and demand is there. Home run guaranteed!”
“this is the best sushi ever. ❤️ it's so good we travel from Orlando area for this yummy delight 😋”

“I come here at least 3x a month and recommend everyone to Toni’s restaurant!
My usual order is a lunch special: spicy tuna, Alaskan, shrimp tempura + miso soup. For $15!!
Their hibachi noodles and teriyaki salmon is so crispy and sweet. We ordered a whole platter and it’s so fresh, stayed together from pick up to serving at our home.”
“Wow—this restaurant blew my taste buds away! It was so delicious and satisfying. They put a fabulous twist on traditional Indian cuisine. I loved my chicken tikka masala bowl...the fresh spinach, chickpeas, and slaw were a great compliment to a familiar meal I would usually order. I totally recommend this place and will be back often!”
“I just went for my birthday with a friend. The servers and chef were all attentive and friendly. I got the hibachi chicken and shrimp meal. The food was very good and the portions were huge. I really appreciated that they didn’t make us join another group. The decor is so cool and pretty. It’s a great place to celebrate a special occasion. There’s also a regular dining area that looks like a good date spot. I’ll definitely go back!”
“An Unforgettable Culinary Experience – Bravo, Chef Jeremiah & Chef Ronaldo! This restaurant is a true masterpiece in every sense. From the moment you arrive, you’re met with a warm, upscale ambiance, impeccable service, and a menu that reflects world-class talent in the kitchen. The culinary brilliance of Chef Jeremiah and Chef Ronaldo shines through in every dish. The Secreto Ibérico was incredibly tender and packed with flavor, while the Pata Negra and J5 jamón were carved with precision and absolutely divine. The Paella was a standout—rich, perfectly seasoned, and filled with fresh seafood that brought authentic Spanish flavors to life. The wine list is just as impressive—featuring selections from around the globe. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or just enjoy a great glass of wine, the staff is happy to guide you through pairings that elevate every bite. This isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience. A celebration of flavor, technique, and passion. Huge compliments to Chef Jeremiah and Chef Ronaldo for creating something truly special. I can’t wait to return!”
“What a gem! We ordered potato pancakes and Kozak platter. The portions were generous and the food was delicious. We finished our meal with amazing sour cherry pierogies. They were soooo tasty. The restaurant has a vey nice atmosphere and a cozy bar. Highly recommend”
“Exceptional small plates and atmosphere. Staff is extremely attentive and knowledgeable.”
“I just tried their lobster salad roll last weekend while we were staying at the beach for a couple nights. I was going back to our room from the beach and it was over 100 degrees out, the kids were grumpy and I just wanted a lobster roll. It was delicious! The staff was so friendly, and even gave me a sample of their slushy drink (mix the lemonade and strawberry açaí 😉) and it was SO refreshing. I’ll definitely have to visit every time we are in town.”

“This is one our favorite Vegan spots in St Pete. It has exquisite food. Everything we tried was phenomenal. The service was great!
The restaurant also has a beautiful and clean design feel. I can not recommend this restaurant enough. If you’re in the area definitely stop in and give it a try. If you’re vegan or not, you’ll love the food!!
Vegetarian options: The entire menu is Vegan! But hey, if you’re not a vegan give it a try, I guarantee you’ll be pleasantly surprised!”
“This is some of the best food I've had in FLORIDA let alone St Pete. I got 3 chicken tacos and the bean and cheese empanadas and they were so insanely good. Super flavorful, light but delicious. Honestly had to write a review to give them their flowers. The red sauce was so good, a lil spicy but paired perfectly with the tacos. The green sauce was great with the empanadas. I will be coming back weekly no doubt.
Vegetarian options: Black bean and cheese empanadas”
“La Diperie is a true gem when it comes to ice cream shops! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm hospitality that makes you feel right at home. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and eager to make your experience memorable. But what really sets La Diperie apart is the incredible variety of flavors, dips, and toppings they offer. With so many options, from classic vanilla to unique, seasonal flavors, you’ll never run out of combinations to try. Their selection of dips and toppings is equally impressive, allowing you to customize your treat just the way you like it. Whether you’re in the mood for something simple or totally decadent, La Diperie is the perfect spot to satisfy any ice cream craving! Highly recommend.”
“Excellent Staff & Service - completely competent, expert and friendly Folks in a family run establishment - of course the custom baked goods are an appealing attraction to many, yet there's also great variety in the breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, plus gourmet coffee offerings and a bounty of other beverages !+”

“Trendy Café with Very Good Food It was a rainy Saturday morning and the place was busy. No one could use the outdoor tables, so it was crowded inside. Nevertheless, things moved along quickly and we got our order in and got a table. The staff members were all very pleasant and helpful. The atmosphere was fun and lively. The coffee was very good. For food a Jam-on-It Sandwich which was quite nice. We also had a berry yogurt bowl. The yogurt was delicious and the fruit and granola on it were great. The scone we got, nicely warmed, was delicious. I’ll return, but I’ll try for a dry weekday.”

“So this is a pseudo Lolita's review. It's one of our favorite restraunts ever in St. Petersburg. We saw that they were doing the food for one of the tables at WUSF's Longest Table. 5 courses with wine and champagne pairings.
It was exquisite!! The courses were so flavorful and innovative We were floored! We asked if they were a foreshadowing of what was to come at the restraunt and they just smiled and gave my husband and I a hug!
The restraunt is a wonderful experience. We recommend the short ribs and the dates!
Parking: Located in the Morean Center for Clay with free parking.”
“This might he the biggest brewery in the area. They have so much space and use it so well. There is a corn hole area, board games, a full stage for live music, a quiet secluded area to rest your ears. They are veteran friendly and support First Responders. Their coffee blonde ale is in a class of its own.”

“Great Breakfast Finally! A place where all parts of the breakfast were great. The eggs were right. The ham was thick and well seared. The grits, almost impossible to find good ones in Pinellas County, were perfect—not gummy, not watery, not bland. Service was friendly and efficient. The place is busy and lively and mostly clean (bathrooms could stand an updating.) Prices were fair. I will gladly return.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Manhattan City Pizza is a must-visit for any pizza lover! Their New York-style pies are perfectly crispy, cheesy, and loaded with flavor. The ingredients taste fresh, the portions are generous, and the service is top-notch. Whether you're grabbing a quick slice or dining in, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend!”
“Stayed here on an overnight, hadn't been in 10 years, and I had forgotten the quaint atmosphere of this place. Combined with good food and great friendly service, it's a great stop in St Petersburg whether you stay at the hotel or not. Some good daily specials, for both food and drink. Again came face to face with NAM (which stands for Not A Moose, from what I overheard! He's a caribou!) who overlooks the bar. This place is worth a visit if you've never been here!”
“I went to eat here for the first time today with friends I used to work with. We heard that the owner used to work at Italia Mia which is now closed and now own this restaurant. We always had a salad and pizza there so we ordered the same thing here. The sausage, pepperoni and mushroom pizza was absolutely delicious. The thin crust was incredible!! Nice ambience also.”
“Jason is an amazing server! Thank you for a great meal! Go team, Jason!!!”

“Beech Kombucha is absolutely un-‘BEECH’-lievable! Stumbled (or should I say, fermented?) upon this gem while killing time before a comedy show, and let me tell you, the real joke would’ve been not stopping by. I’ve now been back three times, and each visit has been a ‘brew’-tiful experience. The best part? The ever-rotating lineup of flavors keeps things fresh—no chance of things going stale here! Every sip is a delightful surprise, and I love that there’s always something new to try. The vibe? Immaculate. The first time, we cozied up indoors, where the eclectic furniture made for a quirky and inviting atmosphere—perfect for conversation. On return visits, we took full advantage of the backyard-style outdoor space, which is not only spacious but also dog-friendly. Our pup gave it two paws up and is now fully on board for future visits. And let’s talk about the staff—beyond friendly! I’m admittedly terrible with names, but I believe it was Julian who guided us through the kombucha selections with expertise and enthusiasm. His recommendations were spot on, making the whole experience even better. Oh, and just when I thought things couldn’t get tastier, a food vendor was serving up Mexican-style tamales and street food on our last visit. The pairing? Chef’s kiss. If you haven’t given Beech Kombucha a shot, what are you waiting for? It’s a ‘brew’-tiful place with fantastic drinks, a killer vibe, and a welcoming team. Trust me—one visit, and you’ll be ‘hop’-ing back for more!”
“Great Club! You get a laid back feeling like a mixture of a sports bar and gentlemen’s club/ local bar feeling! Beautiful dancers great sound system and there’s a side room that offers free pool, free darts, and casino style games! I for sure recommend stoping thru and checking 4 play lounge out”
“Looks like nothing from the outside, but inside is super chill, laid back, and welcoming. Great happy hour and early bird specials discounting everything from kratom and coffee to puff bars. Stopped in while my car was in service across the street at Volvo. Great vibe!”
“Great spot! Good selection of beers. Lots of free games. My only complaint: the lights are a little too bright. 🙃”
“Had two EXCELLENT sandwiches and sides our first time there. My gf got the Turkey Reuben and said it was the best one she's ever had. Her potato Salad was DELICIOUS! I got a Cuban Panini. The pork was so tender and delicious, and they added Salami, which was a first for me, and between that and the super delicious crispy pickles, it sent the sandwich to next level status. The place was busy, very clean, and the staff were super cool as well. We will make it a regular spot on our Florida visits!”
“Let me talk to ya. There's a new bagel giant in town. Where Pete's General lives in this land of artisan bagelry, Bad Mother St. Pete --- the coffee shop inside of Station House -- lives in the city that never sleeps. As a Jew from New York, it's hard to come by a solid nosh. Eisntiens: whatever --- Brooklyn Bagel Co --- whatever --- Bad Mother --- mindblowing. Ego aside, it's just nice to have a taste of home. I highly recommend taking a bagel or a few to the seats outside.”
“This place is amazing! The portions, and prices are a major plus. Their food is made right there. Expect to have have leftovers � It definitely reminds me of the food that my mother-in-law cooked.”
“Excellent food from a tiny kitchen. This is a must experience!”
“I love this place. As a local real estate agent dealing with a lot of questions about places to eat and neighborhoods. I love highlighting places to my clients. THIS place always comes to mind! Remarkable food and service. 10/10 from me!”
“It has a great outdoor place and dog friendly. That was nice but I ordered the black bean burger which was terrible. It was the blandest/zero flavor Burger that I’ve ever had. And it cost $13, not worth it. The tater tots were good. I will not order that again”
“We dine here once a week and it is ALWAYS a great experience. Service is the BEST and every dish we have tried is delicious! Tonight I had the “steak” quesadilla and it exceeded expectations. Cocktails are wonderful, too. Great dining every time!”
“What a gem! We ordered potato pancakes and Kozak platter. The portions were generous and the food was delicious. We finished our meal with amazing sour cherry pierogies. They were soooo tasty. The restaurant has a vey nice atmosphere and a cozy bar. Highly recommend”
“Nomi Nori is absolutely delicious! Freshly made and exceptionally good food, friendly service and very clean atmosphere. It's located inside of the Edge Eatery so there are options for everyone in your party. There is two hr free street parking right out front. So far, this is the best sushi and service I've had in St. Petersburg, FL.”

“My husband and I dined here last night and not only were the entree’s delicious, but the service was impeccable. Highly recommend.”
“I love this place. Its ceviche is the best. Very friendly service. Real Peruvian food in St. Petersburg, FL. Recomendadísimo.”
“If anyone watched “Jiro Dreams of Sushi” documentary film and you are a sushi lover you should try this place “Sushi Sho Rexley” near Sundial. This film is about an 85-year-old sushi master and owner of Sukiyabashi Jiro, previously a Michelin three-star restaurant. Sukiyabashi Jiro is a 10-seat, sushi-only restaurant located in a Tokyo subway station. We have this kind of high quality sushi restaurant and only 10 seats. We get to enjoy heavenly delicious sushi like film with sake paring in St. Pete last night. What can I say! It’s a fantastic experience and culture for 2 hours.”
“I always enjoy my evening at Frankie’s. The Beef Wellington is the best I’ve ever had. Great food & excellent service!!”
“Amazing food and the service was phenomenal. This is a must try! We will be back!”
“I’ve been here multiple times it’s wonderful on the Palate! You have to come just to experience everything! The people are very nice, I really LOVED their pistachio cake that they had. But I totally understand how Chef’s love to create new menus for the seasons!”
“The ProMedia Group recently worked with Artistic Whisk to create a stunning dessert bar and a custom cake featuring our company logo for our 15th Anniversary, and the results were nothing short of exceptional. From the initial consultation to the final presentation, the team at Artistic Whisk displayed incredible creativity, attention to detail, and a genuine passion for their craft. The dessert bar was beautifully arranged, with a wide variety of treats that not only looked amazing but tasted incredible as well. Each dessert was a work of art, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was. The highlight of the event was the custom cake, which featured our company logo perfectly executed. It was almost too beautiful to cut into, but once we did, we were blown away by the flavor and texture. Artistic Whisk went above and beyond to ensure that every element reflected our brand and vision. We are thrilled with their work and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to add a touch of elegance and flavor to their event. We will definitely be working with them again for future occasions!”
“I was in the hospital and my wife went out to get me some cupcakes and it was the first real food that I had in a week. It was amazing. It was like my mouth burst with flavor and sugary sweet but not too sweet goodness. These pastries were made with quality ingredients and with love. I love this place.”
“Absolutely love this place ! Food is always on point, delicious, and carefully crafted.”
“I’ve been eating sushi FOREVER. I’m SO picky. This place DID NOT disappoint at all. So beautifully plated, and even more delicious. I highly recommend the Spicy Tuna Martini.”
“Great beer, food, atmosphere and overall experience! Thank you Zack for a wonderful day!”
“Atmosphere, food and service was amazing. Wonderful dining experience.”

You are greeted with a mix of savory goodness, as the succulent chicken mingles with the sweetness of ripe papaya and the aromatic herbs and spices adds depth and complexity to each mouthful, while the crunch of water chestnuts provides a satisfying contrast.

“Awesome happy hour, such good prices and fresh sushi! I will for sure be back!”
“Top notch service, fantastic food. We went for breakfast both days of our vacation. Large portions. Highly recommend.”
“Had a fantastic experience at Barbouni, cocktails were delicious and can’t rave enough about our meal. Oysters, crudo, some tinned - all amazing. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Highly recommend!”
“Asian Fusion with a Touch of Italian Green Pagoda has a pleasant atmosphere. They could do better quality control on making sure the plates are clean. Our server was pleasant and helpful with the menu. But after he took our order we didn’t see him again until we were done and asked for the check. (Someone else delivered the food.) So, he never checked to see if our food was OK or to refill water. As for the food, it was pretty good overall. We started with very nice coconut soup (basically a Thai tom kha), if slightly too sweet. The pork dumplings were very good. The ginger chicken entrée had nice flavor, but the chicken pieces were a little tough. The server highly recommended the snapper risotto, which seemed an odd choice for an Asian restaurant. Nevertheless, the snapper was a generous piece and nicely cooked. The sauce on it was delicious. The risotto, however, was on the gummy side when it should have had a silky texture. I would go to Green Pagoda again and try the whole fish and some sushi.”
“My favorite spot I am there every Thursday or Friday one or other maybe both that’s the chill spot”
“This is our favorite spot to visit yearly and can’t wait to enjoy the cleanliness of the restaurant, the deliciousness of the food especially the fish tacos and out of this world coleslaw! The vibe is amazing especially with the live entertainment! The staff is spot on and earns a 10 star review if possible! Cedric certainly knows how to run a restaurant and should train other restaurants how to! See you 12 days!!! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Review of Doc Ford's Rum Bar & Grille St. Pete Pier We ventured from the Hyatt Place to Doc Ford's Rum Bar & Grille on foot as a group, which allowed us to enjoy each other's company and the beautiful St. Petersburg Pier at night. The walk was short and pleasant, enhancing our overall experience. Upon arrival, we were fortunate to secure an immediate reservation for a table for seven, even though the restaurant was bustling. Our server, Noah, was exemplary. He swiftly took our drink and appetizer orders, managing our table and others with remarkable efficiency and a friendly demeanor. We began with two dozen oysters on the half shell, which impressed even our Louisiana-native friends accustomed to seafood. They declared these oysters the best, largest, and freshest they had ever tasted, enhanced by a variety of sauces and hot sauces provided at the table. Doc Ford's offered an array of island-themed drinks, including non-alcoholic versions for our group member in recovery. I opted for the dry rub ribeye, cooked perfectly to my preferred temperature, accompanied by mashed potatoes and asparagus. The steak's charred exterior added a delightful flavor while keeping it juicy. Two of our team members ordered the seafood hiatus, a generous portion of shrimp, fish, and other seafood, which they enjoyed immensely. Other team members praised the ribs and fresh shrimp dishes, all of which were excellently prepared. As the evening progressed and the restaurant emptied, we enjoyed engaging conversations with Noah and other staff members. We shared a memorable moment watching the University of Tennessee baseball team win in the College World Series. This interaction, along with a shared appreciation for Drew Talbert's Bistro Huddy videos, made for a memorable night. Our visit to St. Petersburg for the Southern Lock & Supply Learning Expo and Trade Show was a success, and our evening at Doc Ford's created lasting memories. The restaurant's setting on the pier, excellent food, and friendly staff made for an outstanding experience. I highly recommend Doc Ford's Rum Bar & Grille to anyone visiting St. Petersburg who wants an authentic, nautical dining experience near the water. Contact Information: - Address: St. Pete Pier - Phone: (727) 857-8118 I will be sharing this review on various platforms to spread the word about this fantastic restaurant.”
“We rented the restaurant out for an engagement photography session, and the staff was very accommodating! The architecture was stunning. We can’t wait to go back!”
“I came to Ceviche specifically for the ceviche, and it did not disappoint! The fish was incredibly fresh, perfectly marinated, and bursting with bright citrus flavors. The balance of acidity, spice, and seasoning was spot on, making each bite refreshing and satisfying.
The portion size was pretty reasonable for 2 people, the presentation was beautiful. I also appreciated the variety of ceviche options on the menu, catering to different tastes and different fish.
I’d say the only catch is, is a glass of wine will run you about 15+ a glass and the service could be better. Other than that, it’s a great place to splurge on one of the best ceviche places in town!
⭐⭐⭐”
“Perfectly prepared prime rib that was just plain delicious! The service was equally impressive as were our beverages. A guaranteed good time!”
“We were visiting Saint Pete’s for the day and saw this little gem on the corner. So glad we decided to stop and have a wonderful lunch there . Fabulous atmosphere, wonderful service and the food absolutely delicious . We will definitely return here when we are back in town .”
“Really great food! Smoke flavor was there, meat was tender and perfectly sauced! We got the brisket tacos, flavors were spot on. They could have used a little more crunch but definitely a crowd pleaser! The mac and cheese was killer and fries were perfectly fried! My husband ate most of the nachos on the drive home (we live 5 mins away! 😵💫) he raved about the chips and the great portions of toppings! Excellent spot, will definitely be back!”
“Had an amazing experience at The Lure yesterday for my daughter’s 22nd birthday. We were able to enjoy our meal with our dogs too!! Great service, great food (the Onolicious is something special) and super super dog friendly. Thank you!!”
“I recently dined at this location with my Mom. Our server, Tyler, was phenomenal. He went above and beyond. I'd highly recommend asking for him if you dine in!”
“We tried the place after a friend recommended. The concept is cool. great wine selection and cool to try several tastes. Flights of wines by type, region, and type. (full body reds) Service was quick and cordial. We had some charcuterie and a sourdough pizza, and we got to meet the manager and the owner while walking around. Everything was great. We'll be back.”
“Today I ordered 4 smoothies for myself and co workers. The staff was friendly upon my arrival and the smoothies were SO tasty! Thank you Smoothie King crew, you guys rock!”
“I didn’t expect the portions to be enough food to share with 6 people twice. The meal was delicious and the DJ kept the right rhythm all night long. Good food, good drinks, good service, good music!”
“Trust me!!! Kimchi shrimp fried rice woohoo woohoo amazing!!!!!!!! Thank me later y’all”
“Nothing. Seated immediately in half empty restaurant. staff standing around by front door. reviewing menu, 10 minutes later, another couple comes in and gets seated and order taken within a couple of minutes while we were being totally ignored. no idea who is waiting on us, nobody came by..no drink request. waited a few minutes more, couple gets food? you aren't busy, plenty of staff.. no excuse. last time we were there waitress not friendly and dismissive...so not first bad experience... we left, we won't we back. such a shame since we are regulars, and I usually recommend people go there.”
“It's all-around outstanding! The staff is great and fun. Food you can tell is quality over quantity. Best cafe in St. Pete by far!! It's one of those secret gems that definitely should not stay a secret. Go check them out!”

“Its always a good gig.. Got sent home an hour early again. Tim Moody said nothing more to do. Then I was told I wasn't needed tomorrow either, ouch. Told that sometimes schedules change. They did say I was welcome back anytime I see a shift to pick up. Thought I had picked up shift til 20th. No worries, thank you”
“Been coming here since I was a little kid and her hubby was still here now I eat it with my kids I went today and mini I still love your food it’s always a pleasure love you so much see you soon ?”
“Novu Bistro serves delicious food and beverages. The waitresses are friendly and engaging. We didn’t wait long for anything and we were a large group. The owners, Tony and Kat, are gracious and hospitable! I loved that the music was low for great conversations! I highly recommend this St. Pete gem!!”
“Good live music venue, but they actually charged $10 to get into that area of the facility. 10 feet away on the other side of the half wall is free. Wood fired pizza was really tasty.”
“The show was great! The venue is awesome. I bought tickets in advance and I couldn't find the email so I paid double. Plus they said they were sold out but had tickets at the door?? I had to leave my friend because I thought she wouldn't be able to get in. 🥺”
“I had the pleasure of attending a company Christmas party at this stunning rooftop bar, and it was an unforgettable experience! The views of the city were absolutely gorgeous, especially as the sun set and the lights came on. The vibe was perfect—elegant yet relaxed—and created a fantastic atmosphere for mingling and celebrating. The staff was exceptional, providing top-notch service all night long, making sure everyone had everything they needed. It was the ideal spot for our event, and I’d highly recommend it for any special occasion. Can’t wait to visit again!”
“Yet again we had a fantastic dinner at Gratzzi! The service was excellent, the food was delicious—from the bread to the salad to the chicken to the cannoli—and the ambiance was just right.”
“Phenomenal. From start to finish it was top notch and the ambiance is immersive.
Kid-friendliness: The staff was very gracious to my kids. Thank you Mark for making our special dinner amazing.
Wheelchair accessibility: No small detail was overlooked. I was impressed and that doesn’t happen easily for me.”
“Love pier Teaki the vibe a blast. Sam was great and made sure we were seated comfortably, she wiped the table clean upon arrival and gave us her personal opinion when it came to ordering which made it easier to order quickly. She was awesome! Would definitely come back!”

“The food is so delicious, Yes I can definitely eat Irie Mon every day ….”
“The restaurant is really something special and not just a restaurant that you visit every day.
The prices are in the normal to slightly higher range.
The ambience is to die for, cozy, warm, chic and inviting.
The food tastes excellent. The meatloaf is to die for.
The noodles are wonderful!
The staff waiters are very attentive and kind.
The selection is small but the food is fresh and of high quality!”
“We tried the place after a friend recommended. The concept is cool. great wine selection and cool to try several tastes. Flights of wines by type, region, and type. (full body reds) Service was quick and cordial. We had some charcuterie and a sourdough pizza, and we got to meet the manager and the owner while walking around. Everything was great. We'll be back.”
“Trivia night, super awesome bartenders, welcoming atmosphere & awesome pudding shots!”
“No one came to seat us. I had to go the bar and ask if I could seat myself. The hotel bar and restaurant are connected to the pool area which wasn’t ideal for an expensive dinner date in our hotel. The snapper was cooked well but the sauce was more of an Alfredo and really thick. I also had the broccolini and asparagus,I could have had a whole plate of these. The New York strip wasn’t a good cut but had good flavor. The beers were served in an ice cold mug which was really nice. Our waitress was great and saved this review rating.
Dietary restrictions: A lot of gluten free options”

“Great Breakfast Finally! A place where all parts of the breakfast were great. The eggs were right. The ham was thick and well seared. The grits, almost impossible to find good ones in Pinellas County, were perfect—not gummy, not watery, not bland. Service was friendly and efficient. The place is busy and lively and mostly clean (bathrooms could stand an updating.) Prices were fair. I will gladly return.”
“Erica is amazing!!! She is real and authentic, fun, and a great great time! I’ve been to many bars and seen many bar tenders and she takes the cake. Her and Jazz are a dinamic duo, and we can wait to come back for trivia and anything else you guys offer! Love this place, BECAUSE of them!!!!”
“My sisters & I went I got to pick our restaurant & got lucky! I wanted traditional Irish food drinks & music. they delivered on all of it. The Fish & chips was the best I have had in a long time. I had a Black & Tan (Love Guiness its good for you). My sisters were also impressed by everything, our server was excellent, she kept us happy for sure. I love everything about this place, I used to go to Clancy's every St Patrick's day so I hope this will be my Clancy's go to. McArthur's is the best.”
“Trendy Café with Very Good Food It was a rainy Saturday morning and the place was busy. No one could use the outdoor tables, so it was crowded inside. Nevertheless, things moved along quickly and we got our order in and got a table. The staff members were all very pleasant and helpful. The atmosphere was fun and lively. The coffee was very good. For food a Jam-on-It Sandwich which was quite nice. We also had a berry yogurt bowl. The yogurt was delicious and the fruit and granola on it were great. The scone we got, nicely warmed, was delicious. I’ll return, but I’ll try for a dry weekday.”
“Asian Fusion with a Touch of Italian Green Pagoda has a pleasant atmosphere. They could do better quality control on making sure the plates are clean. Our server was pleasant and helpful with the menu. But after he took our order we didn’t see him again until we were done and asked for the check. (Someone else delivered the food.) So, he never checked to see if our food was OK or to refill water. As for the food, it was pretty good overall. We started with very nice coconut soup (basically a Thai tom kha), if slightly too sweet. The pork dumplings were very good. The ginger chicken entrée had nice flavor, but the chicken pieces were a little tough. The server highly recommended the snapper risotto, which seemed an odd choice for an Asian restaurant. Nevertheless, the snapper was a generous piece and nicely cooked. The sauce on it was delicious. The risotto, however, was on the gummy side when it should have had a silky texture. I would go to Green Pagoda again and try the whole fish and some sushi.”
“Let me talk to ya. There's a new bagel giant in town. Where Pete's General lives in this land of artisan bagelry, Bad Mother St. Pete --- the coffee shop inside of Station House -- lives in the city that never sleeps. As a Jew from New York, it's hard to come by a solid nosh. Eisntiens: whatever --- Brooklyn Bagel Co --- whatever --- Bad Mother --- mindblowing. Ego aside, it's just nice to have a taste of home. I highly recommend taking a bagel or a few to the seats outside.”
